She later also worked as a backup singer for Sting, Foreigner, Stevie Wonder and Rod Stewart.
Sheryl's first record label came in the form of A&M Records where she produced an album although it was never released. Later she was invited to take part in jam sessions at locals clubs. Soon the Tuesday Night Music Club had been born. This was tolead her on to her debut album.
Tuesday Night Music Club was released in 1993 heading up the charts in early 1994 due to the success of songs developed in the jam sessinos including Leaving Las Vegas. Unfortunatly soon after the album was released two of her former bandmates comited suicide. After released All I Wanna Do, Sheryl began picking up awards including two Grammys.
In 1996 Sheryl released a self titled album after Bottrell abandoned her. However the new album began producing hits with If It Makes You Happy sprawling into the charts.

Sheryl went on to release the albums, The Global Sessions (1998) and Sheryl Crow and Friends (1999) and in late 2003, Greatest Hits. |
